Has interracial dating declined?

Why not have:
1. white (Caucasian)
2. Latino
3. African American
.

Also, in terms of IDENTIFICATION, this is SO limiting.

Skin Color and Ethnicity. That is what identity is.

I will never accept the Black Indigenous THEORY. Literally no reason for the colonizers to lie. Everywhere else that they found dark complected people (Australian Aborigines, Aeta in the philippines), it was all recorded and was never a secret, why would finding black indigenous people in the americas be a big deal and kept a secret.

Then why are Haitians considered black? Tainos ruled the whole island.

What a lot of black Americans don’t understand is that There’s a different word outside is great country, I didn’t know race existed until I came here in1995, never was a thing back when I lived in the Dominican Republic, But soon I got here my mind was almost poisoned by it. And Dominicans are only “black” when it benefits your view points , soon one of us do something negative all of sudden his “Dominican” my black friends do that all the time call me a Mexican when do things a Spanish person does but the wanna label me as black soon as it benefits their argument, I will always say Dominican when I get asked what am I or where I’m from don’t care who it pisses off

I've only been to the DR once for about a month....this was in 05. The Haitian girl at the hotel who befriended me and the homie and showed us around made it clear that Haitians were hated by Dominicans and had to assimilate by learning spanish. Regardless of that...hanging out in el Conde...driving thru La Roma and spending the days people watching....Dominicans look very Africanesque.

out here fabricating b. Hondurans are recognized as Hispanic/latinos by all other latinos.

No they're not. In Los Angeles most Hondurans are perceived to be black unless they open their mouth and speak Spanish.

So it took out another year to save?

I'm actually OUT HERE in these communities with these kids and in your neck of the woods promoting and partying my *** off ALL THE TIME you can't tell me NOTHING. It's a lot of ignorance on your side pa regardless if you want to admit it or not. I'm getting it from the youth level and adult level and nothing you can say to me or yourself will change the reality. I'm a black man with a Puerto Rican mom's the hell I got to lie for

I am confused. I have many students in my school from Honduras. Are we ONLY speaking of darker skinned folks from Honduras?

Yea, proving colorism does exist in Hispanic communities JUST like it does in the "black" community... that's the only point I'm trying to prove.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Let’s be honest, if ninja moves to Alabama and didn’t open his mouth, folk would think he’s Black.

 

[Mr.Guy]

There’s no colorism in the DR but Sammy Sosa bleached his skin

 

[Peep Game]

Yea, proving colorism exist in Hispanic communities

People trying to deny this is hilarious

 

[ninjahood]

It's because as the study shows here most "Latinos/hispanics" will identify as white by 3rd generation in America

[Mr.Guy]

My Latino homies who are real tell me how racist his family is against Blacks and dark skinned Latinos. Colorism is a huge problem in their community.

 

[SplinterMatic319]

Then why are Haitians considered black? Tainos ruled the whole island.

Haitians were the first to gain independence which is why they look so similar to africans and their bloodline is more pure.

Bingooo. The amount of racist ******** that comes out of my grandmothers mouth when it comes to my father and his side of the family is absolutely insane. I ask myself does this women realize I'm black as well ?

 

[Mr.Guy]

More African slaves were dropped in hispanola than the U.S. Dominicans prob have more African blood than African Americans which is why many of them look more African than American Blacks.

 

[SplinterMatic319]

Guys BTW, I genuinely love race threads.

 

[edshoecator]

I am confused. I have many students in my school from Honduras. Are we ONLY speaking of darker skinned folks from Honduras?

Yeah...I should have specified.

 

[ninjahood]

Why don’t your aunts look like J Lo or Shakira?

my cousins and more aunts..you were sayin?

 

[Mr.Guy]

Bingooo. The amount of racist bull**** that comes out of my grandmothers mouth when it comes to my father and his side of the family is absolutely insane. I ask myself does this women realize I'm black as well ?

Exactly real conscious Latinos will tell u how racist and misinformed their people are.

 

[debso]

I will never attack ninjahood for his feelings/beliefs. He (as ALL of us), is just a product of his upbringing. Dominicans have traditionally turned their backs on their African side of their makeup, so I understand (agree no) why he feels the way he does. All I can do is hope he is open to learning (some day)

that was my position before he said what he said.
He disrespected me and my experience and my people and his people.
Like I don't want to **** on son but he ****ted on black ppl and said whay I said was the dumbest thing he's ever read.
I've experienced the same **** as amara la negra for the same reasons.

 

[Mr.Guy]

my cousins and more aunts..you were sayin?

They still have brown skin bro. They don’t look like Selena Gomez latinas. They’re colored people.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

[Xennial]

Dominican is a Nationality just like American, there are both white and black dominicans just like white and black americans. Examples of Black Dominicans would be Fabolous, Al Horford, Zoe Saldana. Example of a White Dominican would be former Miss Universe, the only 1 out of the DR Amelia Vega who's Al Horford's wife.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea, proving colorism does exist in Hispanic communities JUST like it does in the "black" community... that's the only point I'm trying to prove.

Yea, I am not sure how Ninja honestly feels that is just a THING in USA

 

[debso]

in America, Black/african American are interchangeable...

of course we're gonna completely ignore this

Black Americans don't have the monopoly on blackness or black ppl. The majority of black ppl in the western hemisphere are Latino.

 

[ninjahood]

Skin Color and Ethnicity. That is what identity is

my skin color has played no part in my identity, my ethnicity is everything...if i was born as light as some of my other cousins or aunts, my life experience would've been exactly da same.
